Into DVD World with Both Feet!

Fri, 25 Jun 2004 16:41:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - I didn't own a DVD player until I bought this just a few days ago. Nearly every movie rental place, including the movie library at my apartment community, has gone 90% DVD. So, I jumped into DVD world with both feet, skipping kindergarten, whatever you...

Love it!

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - This is my first dryer ever as a grown-up. I live in a state that oddly doesn't seem to have any natural gas usage, so I had to get an electric dryer. I have always been told that electric dryers are very expensive to use, but honestly I haven't...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - I'm moving interstate next month and anticipate my belongings taking a week or more to catch up with me. I decided I would buy an inflatable mattress that I could pack in my car to use in my new place until my bed, etc., arrived, and then I would have so...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - Have you ever tried to 10-key on a laptop? I hear some people do it, and really like it, but I simply can't. Besides that, a great deal of my work is is alphanumeric data entry. NumLock on, NumLock off, NumLock on... It was that or use the number row...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - I just got here to see if moving companies were reviewed on Epinions. Once I saw that they were, and saw that there were a number of reviews on Allied, I HAD TO share my experience with them even though it was over ten years ago. It should prove that...

Ever tried REAL waxing?

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - I love Nad's. I was very skeptical at first, but if you follow the instructions it works beautifully: Apply thinly to very clean skin in the direction of hair growth, pull skin taut, quickly pull off strip in the opposite direction. I've done both the...

Never, ever again

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - After going through a few local ISPs, I decided I needed a national one and Earthlink is the one that apparently has all the advertising dollars, so I signed up.

One of the first things I discovered about Earthlink was they are a spam target...

Love it!

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - This scanner is unfortunately discontinued; however I found mine on eBay and didn’t consider anything else.

I sought out this scanner due to the transparency adapter, which allows scans up to 5" x 5" instead of just 35mm slides. In my former...

I was really excited, but then...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - I bought the sister to this TV (KV27FS13) and from the first day noticed something funky about the color. It was like a pink smudge down each side. Especially noticeable on light or non-busy scenes, or black and white movies. I called Sony service and...

Capital One in my Book

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - I had a bankruptcy in 1993 and after trying to re-establish credit, finally broke down and got a secured card for emergencies. My limit was $300, which seems like a lot, but most other cards that claim they are not secured, require all kinds of...

Rotten Product or Super Roaches?

Sat, 17 Nov 2001 19:57:02 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - We had our first hard rain on Monday and it drove a small swarm of baby roaches into my kitchen through, my best guess, one of the electrical conduits. Just the little rice-sized ones, but they populated the motels I put out the next day and I chased...

I'll stay* (with an asterisk)

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author brandyalx - After I received a small windfall, I thought it was time to put my money in an interest earning account of some kind. I had avoided that before because the fees on interest-earning accounts outweighed the interest earned, or I didn't have enough to earn...
